Netgalley freebie.I loved the monochrome style of art with the occasional flash of red. A slow burn of a story encompassing horror, folklore, shapeshifting and femininity. With only three characters this tale packs a lot of story with little dialogue relying more on the artwork. Interestingly told from the perspective of the house where Isla lives, took me a bit of getting used to imagining the house narrating!

This was all messed up. Bring on October-fest!!

I received a copy of this book from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for the book. I thought this book would be the perfect short read just in time for Halloween. But, unfortunately, life came in the way, and I ended up not finishing it until way later. However, here we are, and the novel has been read. I thought the graphic novel's premise sounded great, but I'm afraid it didn't quite do it for me. The text is a narration by a house. The house tells the story of its owner a...

I have to say the art is stunning but what’s lacking is trying to figure out what the characters were saying or thinking. It felt narrative side of things were floating in the air rather than focus on what’s happening with the story…..

A potentially interesting premise, marred with poor writing and little direction.

In the heart of the woods lies a home and inside this isolated abode resides Ilsa. Her new maid joins her on alternating days and the two women share a reluctance to connect with each other, due to the secrets both are harbouring. Marie, the young maid, arrives adorned in technicolour bruising but never states the cause of them. Ilsa often tracks her own bloodstains around after her and remains as tight-lipped about where they flowed from. The house knows however, and it will spill its secrets f...

4.75/5I received this book from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.That was amazing! I can't get over how incredible that was. It reminded me of Hannibal (the TV show) and of Will and Hannibal's relationship so much. Where to begin?I didn't know what to expect at the start, but what a pleasant surprise.I loved that the story was written from the perspective of the house; it was really unique and the language that was used to reflect the house's point of view was very clever and intriguin...

I can't say I liked this book... I'm not sure it's the kind of thing that can be liked... But I do like weird, and this was weird, to say the least. I did not enjoy reading it but I felt a grim sort of satisfaction at the end.The point of view is from the house in which a mentally disturbed woman (creature?) lives. It was an interesting take. At first I found it so jarring I decided I wouldn't read the comic, just look at the pictures, because what the house is saying does not match what is goin...

The art is striking, especially with the chosen monochrome color scheme and splashes of red, and the typography suits the atmosphere. The story, however, I find lacking. As it is told in the POV of the house with minimal dialogue between the two main characters observed by the aforementioned house, there is a strong sense of clinical detachment. Sure, there's some food for thought and interesting word choices, but ultimately, the narrative is boring and unemotional. The graphic art can only do s...

You can find my review on my blog by clicking here.They say walls have ears. What if they could also see, feel, and remember everything? Isn’t a terrifying thought? A place you call that might have witnessed everything and anything that happens within its premisses. After all, between those walls, our darkest and most intimate secrets are often laid bare for those with access to our kingdom. Sometimes, these secrets are often best kept to our grave but when we are the guardians of these mysterie...

3.5Yeah! In a sense, this is a macabre and bloody story. But, I felt the story was a bit lacking in depth, so it didn't live up to my expectations. In return, the illustrations are great! Its color scheme is very eye-catching, when taking red as the most point between white and black. The details of the villa are very detailed and beautiful. The illustrations make the book attractive. Anyway, I'm glad I read it.Thank you for the ARC, netgalley! I received this in exchange for an honest review.

Interesting. A horror story of the murderer up in the old house on the hill, told from the perspective of the doting house itself -which apparently has read too many lofty novels in its time, because goddamn if it's not the wordiest house I've ever met. The prose is unnecessarily flowery, almost purple, and it becomes a chore to read, especially since the pacing is weird. The build-up in Marie and Isla's relationship is painfully slow and plodding until its sudden climax. The art is.... fine. Mo...

Graveneye by Sloane Leong (script) and Anna Bowles (art) deliver a dark and beautiful tale of hunger and obsession seen through the eyes of the mansion where it all happens.The story of Ilsa, who lives in isolation in the woods. She loves to hunt and kill and there is an enormous amount of manic bloodlust (and taxidermy). Her new maid Marie arrives and a mutual obsession grows. In all cases horror it can only end in tears… and blood and gore.I loved the art, but the story felt aimless and confus...

I received a copy of this graphic novel through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.Sadly the e-copy I got from NetGalley was very blurry and at times it wasn’t easy to read. It didn’t help that the narrator was a melancholic house…😅It was creepy, gory and grotesque which was its purpose. The characters were all messed up in different ways, they were either maniacal sadists or masochists and all monsters in their own way. I have read many gory graphic novels before but they had much more

I have no idea what the point is supposed to be of what I just read. There wasn't one character I was interested in, whatever plot there was went nowhere, whatever characterisation there was went nowhere, and it wasn't scary or creepy.There is an ever present and overwritten monologue - I felt my editor's hand itching to scrap text. And then there's art that doesn't feel precise and visceral enough to tell this story.(Picked up an ARC through Edelweiss)

2.5 / 5 starsI don't read a lot of graphic novels because I'm very particular about the art styles I like which I need to do in order to be able to get immersed in a graphic novel. Needless to say the cover of Graveneye caught my eye, otherwise I would have skipped it and in regards to the art I wasn't disappointed at all. The greyscale colour scheme with blood red highlights worked perfectly to capture the menacing atmosphere of the story itself. As did the decision to tell this story from the

TWs: Blood, murder, graphic depictions of violence, hunting/killing/skinning/dismemberment of animals, taxidermy, domestic abuse, nudity, “Does the seeing never stop?” I must say that I tend to dislike graphic novels, but Graveneye stood out to me. It’s officially spooky season, so I wanted to read something horror. This satisfied that craving. Graveneye follows Isla, a bloodthirsty homeowner, and her maid, Marie. The story is gory and violent (do not take the trigger warnings lightly), and is

Rating: 3.5NetGalley ARC Review🕷Horror Graphic Novel🕷It was my first time reading a graphic novel and I can say that I enjoyed it. It had a creepy and eerie feel to it and had enough mystery to make me keep going with the story. The narration was something that I was not expecting and was quite unusual for me. Having a house as the narrator and getting its perspective on the people who live inside was very spooky. Especially, its weird infatuation with the main character. Characters:I enjoyed th...

2.5/5 StarsA longer review can be found on my YouTube channel here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cvkuw...This was a really cool concept... But in execution it fell short. This is the story of a werewolf and her maid who comes to clean the house, and how they fall in love - but told from the perspective of the house. I was having a hard time connecting to the story. Having the house tell the story is cool, but in execution it left me feeling distant from the characters. I like to be immersed i...

I received a copy of this book via Netgalley in exchange for my honest review, with thanks to the publisher and Netgalley. Graveneye is a really interesting graphic novel. Okay so firstly, I really like TKO as a publishing company because they tend to publish concise series that are released all around the same time so there is no waiting for the next issue or whatever, that I really like. So when I saw this on Netgalley I was intrigued. It is after all, the post-spooky season and I am always
